Ok I'll start. I just found out that the Omega 1002 movement was the first to beat at 28,800 beats, (im not sure if it bpm or bph...) and that it is a very accurate timekeeping movement...
also found this link to Omega 1002 pdf: http://www.awci.com/wp-content/uploads/watch-tech-guides/Omega-Tech-Guides/1001-1002-1003.pdf
The caliber 1002 didn't last long because of problems with the design. Here's some specs to add to the link you found: http://www.omega-fanatic.com/pages/omega-movement/omega-caliber-1000-1002.php
Thanks Dennis, I read somewhere else that the movement was good so long as you stuck to the maintenance schedules speced' by Omega, and that it is the first to beat 28,800bph. At 18kt Gold, and the watches history. what could I sell it for?
I'm not sure if I'm reading it correctly, but it seems that the 1002 movement was used in the late 60's early 70's Omega PloProf Omega Seamaster Professional 600m/2000ft The in house Omega 1002 movement is not one of the most attractive Omega movements (although, of course, only watchmakers ever get to see it!) but is solidly built and long lived. It is capable of keeping very good time and spare parts are available for servicing and repairs. One great feature of this movement is the quick set date which allows the date to be set both forward and backwards – when using this feature it makes you ask yourself why all watches can’t do that? found here: http://www.ploprof.com/PloProf.html
Wasn't there an upgrade or modification made to the 1002s when they came in for servicing that solved the problems at some point?
